Remove Access to a Site

Tip: The Site Sponsor is granted external user account management permissions by the SharePoint Administrator. There are several choices that the SharePoint Administrator can make when setting up a Site Sponsor. To understand the various choices and permissions of the Site Sponsor, visit the How-To Articles under Self-Service entitled "Configure Extranet Site Sponsors". Invite Users is available if the Site Sponsor has been granted Site Sponsor Permissions to Send Invitations.

On the Manage Sponsor Accounts page, the Site Sponsor can remove existing user access by first selecting the user account that needs to be edited then clicking on the Remove Access icon in the Ribbon (assuming the Site Sponsor has been granted this capability):

Extranet Collaboration Manager Remove Access

After clicking on the Remove Access icon, the Site Sponsor will be given the option to Remove All Access from the user account, or to Remove Optional Access from the user account. Removing Optional Access will only be relevant if the Site Sponsor has been given an Optional Associative Security Definition by the SharePoint Administrator.

After selecting from the available options click Save to confirm the access removal:

Extranet Collaboration Manager Remove User Access

Note: Removing a user’s access from a site does not remove the users extranet account record, or the user’s access to any other sites to which they may have access.
